[chef] Providers

[Kim Nielsen < >]

Hi,

I have been playing with a logrotate cookbook where I want to generated 
logrotate.conf delayed due to other cookbooks input. But for some reason I 
can't seem to trigger a provider

resources/logrotate.rb
actions :create
default_action :create

def initialize(*args)
    super
    @action = :create_logrotate_conf
end

providers/logrotate.rb
def whyrun_supported?
      true
end

use_inline_resources

def generate_logrotate_conf
    t = template "/etc/logrotate.conf" do
        source "logrotate.conf.erb"
        mode "0644"
    end
end

action :create do
    Chef::Log.warn "------ never run -----------"
   generate_logrotate_conf
end


and in my recipe I have I'm running a definition like so

        logrotate "#{curfile}" do
            enabled node['logrotate']["#{curfile}"]['enabled']
            logs node['logrotate']["#{curfile}"]['logs']
            options node['logrotate']["#{curfile}"]['options']
            ifpostrotate node['logrotate']["#{curfile}"]['ifpostrotate']
            postrotate node['logrotate']["#{curfile}"]['postrotate']
            ifprerotate node['logrotate']["#{curfile}"]['ifprerotate']
            prerotate node['logrotate']["#{curfile}"]['prerotate']
            action :create
        end

Can anyone point me to what I'm doing wrong or if there is a better way to 
create the logrotate.conf file when all other cookbooks are done using?
